a reminder from myself...
I have to fight the tendency of stinkin' thinkin' to give up because I'm not progressing. As long as I am still moving and watching what I put in my mouth then I am progressing no matter what the scale says.

*Having heat in our house, it's gotten chillier!
*Paid bills this week
*Began organizing our house
*Access to clean water and good food

*Health and happiness of our family

*Another beautiful day to enjoy!
